With these events this actually becomes, you know, an actual LEGO comic again. I know many will be happy. And that brings up one of my ongoing frustrations with the comic. I’d like to think that the characters, story, humor and photo storytelling are what keep people’s interest, but I know part of the allure is that the comic is made with LEGO. That was, of course, the comic’s original purpose and what draws some readers to it in the first place, so I have to accept that. Granted, I’m not exactly aiming to do a video game sprite comic, either.

Schwartz’s new jacket is actually a piece that unexpectedly popped up in recent Lego Town sets, sporting the Classic Space logo. It reminded me of the jackets worn by Starfleet crew in the Star Trek movies, with some “The Next Generation” mixed in.
